Q-Link Edit Mode

Q-Link Edit Mode lets you determine what the Q-Link knobs control in other modes. This is

helpful when you want to use the Q-Link knobs to control parameters that might not be

shown in the current mode—or parameters that are shown across different modes.

To enter Q-Link Edit Mode, do any of the following:

• Press Shift+Screen Control/Edit.

• Press Menu, and then tap Q-Link Edit.

• Press and hold one of the five Q-Link buttons above the Q-Link knobs, and then tap Q-Link Edit at the

bottom of the window that appears.

To select an edit mode for the Q-Link knobs, tap one of the five buttons at the bottom of the touchscreen or press

one of the five Q-Link buttons above the Q-Link knobs (Project, Program, Pad Scene, Pad Param, or Screen

Control/Edit):

Project: In this edit mode, the Q-Link knobs can control 16 parameters within the current project overall. See the

following Project section to learn about this specific Q-Link Edit Mode.

Program: In this edit mode, the Q-Link knobs can control 16 program or audio track parameters. See the

following Program section to learn about this specific Q-Link Edit Mode.

Pad Scene (for drum programs only): In this edit mode, the Q-Link knobs can control 16 parameters for the

currently selected pad. See the following Pad Scene section to learn about this specific Q-Link Edit Mode.

Pad Parameters: In this edit mode, the 16 Q-Link knobs correspond to the 16 pads, each one controlling the

same parameter for each pad. This is useful if you need to adjust the same parameter on multiple pads at once

rather than having to select and edit each pad individually. See the following Pad Parameters section to learn

about this specific Q-Link Edit Mode.

Screen: In this edit mode, the Q-Link knobs will control a parameter or group of parameters in your currently

selected mode (e.g., Main Mode, Sample Edit Mode, etc.).

Use the Track field to select a track that uses the desired program (and therefore pad/pads). The contents of the

screen below will vary based on (1) the type of program each track uses and (2) the Q-Link Edit Mode you selected.
